In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1596 and 1604. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, it was part of Zemplén County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1944, it was part of the Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany. On 21 September 1944, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Kalinov and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia. It was the first municipality in Czechoslovakia to be liberated from German occupation.
The municipality lies at an altitude of 453 metres and covers an area of 13.784 km². It has a population of about 300 people.
